So it’s our first sustainable pregnancy. Multiple m/c over our whole relationship. Celebrating 13 years next March together. Our son is doing well. Amazing having no symptoms throughout whole pregnancy but anxiety is there. With past I had everything and we lost those angels. But today I stand at 23 weeks exactly and I’m so happy to say our son is doing amazing. There’s minor scares like can’t find heartbeat but he’s just hiding or laying in a weird position.

Our son is gonna have an amazing life because he has two parents who love each other and love him to the moon already. This year has been toughest. I haven’t worked since April 28, 2021. Medically restricted from work till September of 2022.

Hubby is working 2 jobs and paying for everything. It’s hard. We are a team and have always behaved as such split everything. Now he’s working two jobs and only able to pay for everything for our home car and phones. So it’s been difficult. But I have been able to obtain a car seat brand new from my nurse.

We have our WIC benefits and some EBT benefits to stretch through the month. It’s so amazing to see all the struggles stress anxiety and know that next Spring (EDD April 6, 2022) hoping for a little early so he can share his birthday in same week as his father.

We haven’t bought much for our son. We have some body suits and a bringing him home outfit. So any advice on what to get him. Or what to add would be very helpful. We have done all the reading and what not. I know when I am 30 weeks along we’ll be buying his sleeping stuff. Haven’t decided if we want bassinet or crib or both.

We are looking to move hopefully before his arrival. But not sure. So if we stay where we are at. It will have to be bassinet due to space. But if we move it will be crib. So I’m leaning towards both.

Let me know ladies if I have everything on this list or should I add to it. Anything helps. All advice is appreciated.

Ps side not. Nothing has been gifted from registry so it’s all still on my must buy list. The things marked never arrived but tell me should I add more to my to get list I plan on shopping for more things around 30 weeks.

My registry is my to get list it’s not to ask you to purchase anything.

Thank you so much ladies. There’s been a few that have reached out over the entire journey and have been helpful with answering questions and taking to me. This journey isn’t over but when our son arrives. Our adventure will begin!

Can’t wait to go back to work next September.
